Fig. 6 4. After completion, it can be rackmounted into an EIA standard rack case. Shown in figure 7. 5. Make sure that the system performs correctly by placing the system away from noise sources. Place the receiver at least one meter above the ground and one meter away from noise sources. Place the microphone at least one meter away from the receiv[...]

4. OPERA TION INSTRUCTIONS 1. T urn the volume controls of the receiver and device in use to a minimum setting before turning on the microphone transmitter . After the receivers power switch is set to the on position, the power switch’s red indicator illuminates to denote normal power status. 2. If the SIGNAL LED indicators of the receiver are il[...]

illuminate according to the strength of sound level. If the LEDs do not illuminate or sound is not present at the output, the system is not functioning properly and must be checked. 4. RECEIVER AND AMPLIFIER VOLUME ADJUSTMENT : a. Unbalanced Audio Output: Switch the level switch on the rear panel of the receiver to the left “LOW” Position, then[...]

d. If the receiver output level is adjusted to a level that is near the maximum input level of the desired device, it will cause saturation distortion of the device when the receiver output level is increased due to a increase in level by the sound source. Conversely , S/N ratio will decrease if the receiver volume control is adjusted too low . 5. [...]

13 SELECTING A FREQUENCY CHANNEL ON THE RECEIVER Y our local dealer/distributor should be able to advise you on the best frequency selection for your area and help with selecting combinations of non interfering frequencies for multi channel installations. Interference is the most commonly reported “fault” with wireless microphone systems; we of[...]

HANDHELD WIRELESS MICROPHONE TRANSMITTER Like the receiver , the hand held microphone features advanced synthesized PLL design. It is preprogrammed with 30 user selectable frequencies and incorporates “Superior frequency tracking and muting techniques” dual squelch circuitry .
